The Washington Marriott Capitol Hill has officially opened between Washington, D.C.’s, Capitol Hill and NoMa neighborhoods. Located within walking distance of the U.S. Capitol, Union Station and the Union Market neighborhood, the 235-room hotel is part of the newly developed NoMa Center, which has 40,000 square feet of new retail and restaurant development.
The hotel—developed by The Buccini/Pollin Group and Perseus TDC, an entity of Transwestern, and managed by PM Hotel Group—is the first franchised Marriott property inside Washington’s Capital Beltway.
The hotel’s design pays homage to the past using crisp and streamlined architectural and decor elements that are intentional and purposeful. The materials are polished and refined, with hints of strong metals and warm woods. The style embraces the future by combining these metals and woods using contemporary forms and angular shapes.
Public areas were designed by D.C.-based designer Darryl Carter, and include a 24-hour fitness center. Society Commons includes a bar and a full-service restaurant, while Yara is an indoor-outdoor venue that combines a restaurant, bar and lounge. The hotel’s 18,000 square feet of prefunction and event space includes a ballroom with uninterrupted sightlines and 15-foot ceilings. The space can accommodate 280. The courtyard has more than 5,000 square feet of event space.
